What is recorded here

New Bridge spans an unseen gap in East Ayrshire, carrying carts, boots and urgent messages across country nobody has written down. Rowallan Castle watches from nearby, its stones holding the shape of every person who lived beside that crossing. The bridge does more than connect land; it remembers the traffic of lives that disappeared before maps learned their names.
